    Anyone Using Bare Knuckle on a Single Coil - Specifically Strat Style Guitar?

    I've got a custom set that Tim made up for me based on an original set of '62 strat pickups, and they're in my '62 strat re-issue. They sound exactly as I'd imagine a '62 strat to sound, but completely different from humbuckers, which is to be expected really. Can't go wrong with his pickups in...
